Cemetery at the reservoir site Some monuments were recorded at the area under consideration.

13 preliminary SA project impact assessment In Fusha e Llopushnikut or Brezna Field approx. 500 ha of agricultural land will become unusable due to the impoundment. This represents a permanent influence. In village Qollopek about 60% (49 ha) of all agricultural land will be impounded. The loss of suitable land (grazing land) will be permanent and with potential severe consequences for well being of population there. There is a danger that many inhabitants of Brezna and Qollopek villages will become impoverished. If the municipality provides new land, it should be in the vicinity (Vlaqi?).

18 preliminary SA rap Focus groups conclusions: a general readiness of the population to accept the HPP Zhur project construction the local residents show their preparedness to accept the changes in their style of living, but with different demands The acceptance of social benefits is prevailing! The resettlement draft plan we present here consists of major steps we suggest to be followed in the second phase of the project.
19 preliminary SA rap The resettlement action plan must be very detailed, all households should be visited and any misunderstanding avoided i.e. every structure, household, land, meadow, grazing land, etc. that will be impounded must be registered. Compenzations due to resettlement must be firstly and thoroughly registered through interview with local population and for each case separately. The time schedule of resettlement assumes that houses, schools, health center, small business units, land and cemeteries must be organized prior to the beginning of any construction activity. Construction and relocation of roads, solution of problems with water supply and relocation of the transmission line could be carried out in parallel with the project construction activities, but have to be completed prior to the reservoir impoundment.
20 preliminary SA rap the categories of people who must be compensated under Kosova legislation are narrower than those defined under OP 4.12 or IFC PS 5 (people entitled to compensation are only those with registered property rights, and registered identity documentation)! these criteria could exclude some of the poorest and vulnerable people! there is no specific mention of compensation for commercial businesses and loss of profit due to economic displacement! the absence of legal title to land by such groups should not be a bar to compensation. (OP 4.12, 7) In addition to compensation for losses of land and productive assets, OP4.12 requires also that: resettled people should be assisted with their move and supported during their transition period at the resettlement site; and, assisted in their efforts to improve their former living standards, income earning capacity and production levels or at least to restore them
21 preliminary SA rap due to the nature of activities of the locals (agriculture, cattle breeding) a problem of adequate land to be given in exchange for the impounded land was registered, the negotiations with peoples must take into account their demands and individual situations very carefully. the resettlement does not concern only housing units, but also the whole infrastructure of settlements, as well as individual plans, situations and contexts. compensation of the affected population is seen in different ways for example: land exchange by replacement with suitable land, exchange of property housing lots or even houses, money (cash) reimbursement, in some cases (Brezna village) a collective resettlement (all inhabitants should be resettled to a new place location) was asked for and should be discussed. the Resettlement Action Plan should be based on the existing Kosova legislation (Property Expropriation Bill still not promulgated) as well as World Bank Procedures
22 preliminary SA conclusions The Kosova state role is to develop and provide: 1. urban and spatial plans for the region; construction activities regulation (ban) on the future reservoir sites is recommended, 2. inclusion of the EU funds for future spatial developments, 3. plans for compensation of different kinds, 4. programs, regulations, laws that will stimulate Kosova Diaspora to be motivated to engage financially and organizationally in development of the HPP Zhur area, 5. social programs for the population that will be placed outside of normal possibilities of life in the area, 6. clear procedural regulations concerning the potential future concession rights of the HPP Zhur plant, 7. plans for community development
23 preliminary SA conclusions General conclusions: general approval of the construction of the planned HPP Zhur was registered in the project region: better future of the state, more energy, more development Kosova State is seen as a guarantee for the successful accomplishment of the project representatives of local communities ask for more information concerning the project activities
